The Mime Shoe Anthologies

Mime Shoe #1

repast in the hallway
eat out of owls, shun wheat
and stuff mime shoe in
your large, underdeveloped navel.
On Tuesday afternoons, when the city
muffles corner strollers, leave it to
mime shoe when we're alone and out with friends.

Mime Shoe #2

Travelling at twenty three hectares
per stone length, at cost furniture
will run home with your fruit
trees. The edges of your lawn will
creep into the gardens. Rico will stop popping
by for nightcaps and mime shoe will slip out,
smushing itself through a road map, and emerging
in Lloydminster.

Mime Shoe #3

Lloydminster: a penny's
owner, not a new one.

Mime Shoe #07

Distilled in the rivers of Nath,
mime shoe leaks itself out of
your navel. To keep it, you need
to push it back in with your thumb.

Mime Shoe #5

mime shoe, keep yourself off the streets
of Pakistan. If given the choice of sticking
yourself in something other than a navel, say
no, no matter how formal it may seem.
formality is the basis of mask, mime shoe, remember
that when you're on the red coast.

Mime Shoe #6

Childish mime shoe, I will not
clean up your vomit, make a pun
out of your tongue, nor will I
grow a moustache (the cost of
my new name) just because
of a business strategy.

Mime Shoe #4

feeling bitter, mime shoe? life in
other countries not as charitable
as the one diane and i gave you?
the only couple to have mime shoe
leak out. you're not family, and on the eve
of his last night with us, jerry said that you
deserved a memorable event, so sta
hummer.
